Social Sciences

In this book the author describes the complexity of the problem of being black in America and the direction the solution may take.  The author indicates there are economic, philosophical and behavioral aspects to be resolved, but that a willingness to address the problem is the prime requisite.  Examples are used to illustrate specific points throughout the book pertaining to racism, discrimination, integration, the importance of family on education, affirmative action, black crime, black anti-Semitism, black leaders in the black movement and the role of government.  Because the problems can be considered from many different perspectives, in reviewing the country's black problem, the author has attempted to include the opinions, the biases and prejudices and the proposed solutions of both blacks and nonblacks, academics, reporters, writers and politicians.  Insofar as the problem that blacks experience is creating a greater mental health problem than most people realize (it has been called by some the number one mental health problem in America today), the book offers invaluable insight in the need for a better understanding of the current situation.  It will be of interest to those in the mental health and sociology fields, as well others who are concerned about social and community factors affecting mental health.
